Bitsquid is a 3D game engine with support for Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Android and iOS. It uses the Lua scripting language.
The company was founded in Stockholm, Sweden, by two engineers who had previously worked at game studio Grin, and by the owners of Fatshark.[1] Fatshark have used the engine in a number of their games.
Bitsquid was acquired by Autodesk in June 2014[2] and has evolved into their Stingray game engine, which integrates with Autodesk's other modeling applications including 3ds Max, Maya, and Maya LT.[3][4]
Games built with the engine include Escape Dead Island, Hamilton's Great Adventure, Krater, Gauntlet, Helldivers, Magicka: Wizard Wars, The Showdown Effect, War of the Vikings, War of the Roses, and Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide.[5][6][7][8]
